Here are all the details on the listing:
Price: $69.99
Item will be available for purchase on 8/13. Limit of 2 per household

It's not everyday that a robot who turns into a gorilla and rides a hoverboard becomes the leader of the Autobots. But that's exactly what happened when Optimus Primal won the first-ever Fan Vote Prime poll. When Optimus Primal becomes a Prime, he evolves to Optimal Optimus. Celebrate the fans' choice and the epic conclusion of the Prime Wars Trilogy with this figure that uses converting Evolution Armor to evolve from a 5.5-inch scale Optimus Primal figure to a 9-inch scale Optimal Optimus figure.

4 Convention exclusive Prime Master figures: Nexus Prime, Amalgamous Prime, Prima Prime, and the legendary 13th Prime.
A Scepter of Sparks accessory: holds 4 Prime Master figures.
Halo of Primus display: holds 12 Prime Master figures. Use it to create an epic display of Prime Master power. Additional figures sold separately/subject to availability.

50$ for Primal, plus 5$ per titan master ends up at 70$, plus you get that display option and sweet mace.

ah yes, now I remember seeing that pic.
Yeah, think anyone could fold a few pieces of cardboard together and call it a throne.

Even better: Exactly four of the other poll options (Arcee, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, and Thunderwing) were made as Titan Masters, so he can literally carry around the heads of his defeated foes on a stick. ...Too bad I'm broke.

So get on it if you want it
Unfortunately, it's still for Prime Members only. Hopefully, they will ease up on that restriction at some point, because joining Prime suddenly makes the price shoot way up.

You know what, screw it. I was gonna buy Nemesis Prime on Monday, but I have $62, $8 isn't going to be hard to get my hands on. I actually have a chance. Thank you Primus!

I ordered mine on the 5th and he's supposed to get here Monday, which would be amazing since I have that day off. It also says he's preparing for shipment so I'd bet he'll ship out tomorrow and be here Friday at the latest - Amazon already charged me, so Nemesis should be moving soon.
I might go for Primal, he looks pretty good. I'll be honest though, I'm disappointed Bumblebee is a numbered Studio Series figure. I don't need the repaint or those cassettes though. If someone does want to split a set I'm game though, it would bug me if I had one number missing as far as completion of Studio Series.

It was 8/14 last year, also a Monday. I don't think it's ever been later than that, I remember when it used to be the week after.

Will Punch and Repungus be Prime Members only too?

I suspect they will probably not be a prime member exclusive. Nemesis Prime was shown as a prime day item, and part of Amazon's drive to get more prime subscribers. I believe his exclusivity is more centered around their whole prime day marketing event, whereas Repugnus/Punch-Counterpunch and Blast Off appear to be regular Amazon exclusives not attached to prime day and should be open to all.

That is a shame. Was looking forward to picking this up. Maybe other shops will be getting this for order after? Hopefully...

I already got blast off from robotkingdom
So I suspect those 2 might be available for pre-order soon

Mine arrived this past Tuesday. I'm loving it. It's my first time with the mold.
More pics
I don't even care how lumpy the truck cab is. He is just a fun toy with a neat gimmick. The head sculpts are great. Especially Nemesis Pax's. The extra accessories are great, and Giza is AWESOME!
Mine has super loosey ankles and hips in Evolved mode, but I can still wrangle him into some sweet poses. Hope that looseness is just my copy.

While I would love to have the entire set in it's entirety, I'll admit the biggest draw to me is the Prime masters and that staff. (Mostly the staff because that thing gives me major Infinity Gauntlet vibes so it's an automatic need in my collection)
Edit: Never mind I'm not going to SDCC I was hoping to buy off the net.
Posted by starrhero on July 12th, 2018 @ 4:50pm CDT
...Absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. They JUST TODAY found some figures, all from wave one.
I can't believe how hard it is to find ANYTHING. Heck, at this point, I'd be happy with multiple sightings of wave one. At least we'd know that there are some places that could have future waves there.
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on July 12th, 2018 @ 6:27pm CDT
I too hope the Prime membership thing is relaxed, I want the dark Primes trio!!
Also, I see that the Primal listing has a limit of 2. I live in the US pretty much within next day shipping of HTS. If anyone who is outside the US wants me to grab a 2nd and ship to you, I can do that.

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet, but BBTS has the Takara version of POTP Nemesis Prime up for preorder at a price of $69.99 with a release date of December. The difference in price is steep, but it is another option if anyone misses out.

another option would be to sign up for prime and before the free month is up cancel itRelic0037 wrote:Ultra Markus wrote:ordered it!Relic0037 wrote:Flashwave wrote:Nemesis is avaialble for Order on Amazom again as "Temporarily Out of Stock"

Is there any difference between the exclusive and the takara BBTS preorder?

I was able to place an order even though it said temporarily out of stock. It's in my cart.
EDIT, Got a confirmation email from Amazon with order number

I agree. They cant fly off shelves if they aren't there to begin with. . Seriously though, yeah I've seen Hun-Gurr & Elita maybe 2 times (thankfully I got one each time). That single pic of yours represents more PotP Wave 2 Voyagers than I've seen at 30 retail stores in a major metropolitan U.S. city, again, poor distribution.
